You must include your rules inside of a group tag. Unless I’m totally missing something, that is what analysisd is complaining about.

I added the following in the local_rules.xml after </group> --> and before <!-- EOF --> but running into errors: <rule id=“100101” level=“0”> <if_level>7</if_level> <srcip>1.2.3.4</srcip> <srcip>2.3.4.5 <http://64.37.231.0/24> /24</srcip> <description>Ignoring rule any level above 7 from Whitelisted IPs</description> </rule> Error: "OSSEC analysisd: Testing rules failed. Configuration error. Exiting." Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Cal On Wednesday, 2 March 2016 10:44:22 UTC+5:30, Daniel Cid wrote: That's correct as long as the srcip is being decoded. You may need two rules just in case: <rule id=“100001” level=“0”> <if_level>7</if_level> <srcip>1.2.3.0/24 <http://1.2.3.0/24> </srcip> <description>Ignoring rule any level above 7 from Whitelisted IPs</description> </rule> <rule id=“100002” level=“0”> <if_level>7</if_level> <regex> 1.2.3.\d+ </match> <description>Ignoring rule any level above 7 from Whitelisted IPs</description> </rule> The second one is a bit dangerous as it may open you up to log injections, but you can use that as a start or tie it down to only some logs formats. thanks, On Tue, Mar 1, 2016 at 10:00 AM, calvin ratti <[email protected] <javascript:> > wrote: > Hi, > > I have a VA scanner which I have added in the Whitelist to prevent Active > Response from blocking the scans.
